Puntillitas, Baby Squid, Frozen, 500g, Southern Spanish Cuisine Reviews

4.7 Rating 131 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Puntillitas, also known as chipirones or baby squid, are a popular ingredient in Southern Spanish cuisine. They are also called chopitos depending on the region. To prepare them, coat them in harina de freir, a special Spanish frying flour, and quickly fry them until golden brown. Serve with fresh lemon and a cold beer. Be sure to check them and de-quill appropriately. They arrive as a frozen block which requires defrosting. Then they will require cleaning and debeaking with a sharp knife. Each puntillita measures around 5-12cm in length and is individually quick frozen on the boats to ensure their freshness. They are packaged in 1Kg packs.

As the problem is this came as a big solid frozen block and I can see I will have to get a hammer and chisel to get one portion off to defrost just for me ! So how about doing 250gm packs !

Delicious tender baby squid. Had these in barcelona in a tapas bar and just had to recreate the taste when back home. A real treat when fried in the Spanish frying flour with wedges of lemon.
